Popular stars suddenly get a new tag team name in AEW

AEW announced a tag tournament some time ago, with the winners earning a major title shot next month. A recently formed team, poised to participate in this tournament, comprising Brody King and Bandido, has now been given a new name.

With All In: Texas now in the rear view mirror, All Elite Wrestling is preparing for its next big event, Forbidden Door 2025, which will be held in London, England, next month. The AEW World Tag Team Championship will be on the line at the pay-per-view, as Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley of The Hurt Syndicate will defend their titles against the winners of an Eliminator Tournament that was kicked off this week.

The full lineup for the tournament has now been revealed, with two teams—FTR and The Bang Bang Gang—already having advanced to the next round. Among the participants are the duo of Brody King and Bandido, who are set to take on The Gates of Agony in their first-round match. Interestingly, AEW's tournament graphic on X/Twitter has dubbed the team of the Hounds of Hell member and the reigning ROH World Champion as "Brodido," a fact that King celebrated on X/Twitter.

"BRODIDO IS CANNON," wrote King.

It remains to be seen whether Brodido will be able to defeat Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona, considering their recent alliance with Ricochet.

Match results for the AEW tag tournament so far

Earlier this week on AEW Dynamite, FTR competed against JetSpeed (Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight) in a first-round match of the ongoing World Tag Team Title Tournament. The Top Guys managed to defeat The Jet and Speedball thanks to outside interference from their manager, Stokely Hathaway.

This Saturday on Collision, Austin Gunn of The Bang Bang Gang teamed up with Juice Robinson (in light of his brother Colten getting injured) to defeat Big Bill and Bryan Keith and to advance to the next round of the tournament.
